We are currently seeking qualified writers to contribute essays to a new, three-volume guide to topics in the history of science to be published by the Gale Group. The History of Scientific Thought (working title) is designed to help high-school and early college-age students develop an understanding of the history behind the concepts they study in their science classes.

Our advisors are: Brian Dolan; Andrew Ede; Paula Findlen; Robert A. Hatch; Jane Maienschein; Lewis Pyenson; Deborah Warner; Bill Bond; and Tami Caraballo.

The encyclopedia will contain approximately 120 signed entries, ranging in length from 4,500 to 8,000 words, with payment varying according to length.
